Synopsis

A witch doctor who needs a rabbit for his magic brew goes hunting for one and encounters... Bugs Bunny. Terrifying imagery as Bugs gets locked in the doc's pressure cooker. Dr. I.C. Spots is trying to finish up a magic brew. He needs a rabbit to go into the stew to make it perfect. He captures Bugs, who thinks the doctor wants to give him a warm bath in his kettle. When the lid goes on, Bugs escapes through the pop-off valve and hides in a tent. As some ladies go marching by, Bugs disguises himself to look like one of them and joins the march, but the mad doctor discovers him and gives chase. At the edge of a cliff, Bugs jumps into the water, avoids a crocodile and escapes to a riverboat. Dr. Spots is not so lucky. Bugs tries to persuade the croc to cough up the mad doctor, but the croc is satisfied with his meal.

Rather good

Bugs did better cartoons in 1949, but this one is still quite entertaining. My favourite parts are where Bugs flips himself tomake a decision and the face he makes at the end when Dr. I. C. Spots wears high heels.
